Title: wheel bolts
Post by: Entwood on 19 December 2012, 21:54:15
What size are the wheel bolts for the Omega ???

I'm thinking of getting a set of these but they come in varying sizes ...

M12 x 1.5, so they will fit.  I used to have one & it made life easier. :y

Most recent Peugeots have them as standard.
If you can root around in the boot of a scrap Pug you'll find them for nothing.
They do make fitting a big heavy alloy wheel much easier.

But when/why do you have to lift it onto the hub? Surely you lift the car on the jack till the hub & wheel centre line up .....  :-\


My R Class has one in the 'boot'  ;)

Surely that's just a different sort of messing about? It's not the lifting of the wheel, but aligning it with the bolt holes.

Surely it must make things easier to line the bolt holes up with these guides,,,

'Cos you're an old git like me and we're used to studs sticking out of the brake drum that nuts went on !!!  Not these new fangled holes with bolts ...  :)

The 20 yrs referred to the time I've had Senators & my Omega that have bolts rather than studs ........  ;)  ;)  ;)
